# Building Guide Because Venabili is a hand-wired keyboard, you can be creative with the materials you want to use, is it going to be made of wood? Acrylic? Metal? Will it be Cherry MX switches? Zealios? Kailhs? You choose! ## Materials * 48 Switches (any switches that fit in Cherry MX profile holes will do) * 48 Key caps * 48 1N4148 diodes * 1 STM32F103 MCU (bluepill) * 1 ST-LINK * Thin wire * Case pieces (any material that you can either laser-cut or hand-cut will do) Both the *"bluepill"* board and the *ST-LINK* programmer can be bought for cheap from online stores. ## Tools * Soldering Iron * Tweezers --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
